[Verse 1]
   A                    D
In bad times, when it's dark and cold
    A               D
You got no place to rest your soul
        A          D
There's laughter behind your backs
        E
Then it seems the devil rules the deck


[Verse 2]
A             D
Nothin' seems easy these days
   A                D
Or do I see it in a different way
    A                       D
The world is spinnin', well that's OK
E
Tell me baby what's the price we pay


[Chorus]
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is phoney
                     E                D     N.C.
The sooner or later, they'll find you dead

[Verse 3]
              A                 D
Why don't you take me down to a rabbit hole
        A                D
Where a man of peace can hide his soul
A                              D
Thinkin' about pollution and a birth-control
       E
Better talk to the rabbits, it's somebodies fault


[Verse 3]
    A                   D
And maybe sometimes I'm pessimistic
    A                         D
And maybe it ain't so bad, it ain't so sick
  A                          D
I know I'm not the man of constant sorrow
    E
And tell me is it the path of evil to follow


[Chorus]
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is phoney
                    E                D     
Or sooner or later, they'll find you dead
